Highlanders v Crusaders

[gt12]

Landers get the penalty that can put it beyond 7.

[chimoaus]

Best game I have seen Li play from memory.

[gt12]

25-17 with about 10 left.

[gt12]

Excellent play there by Sops

[Gunner]

Should have been a penalty to the Landers on that Crusaders turnover, the guy that pinched it was 2nd or 3rd man there...

[gt12]

Dixon gets one back and the landers are back on attack.

I’ve gone right off Scott Barrett

Yea, I rate both of the Highlanders locks higher.

[gt12]

Hammington misses an easy one, chance gone. Landers still have the territory here.

[gt12]

Scrum penalty. Oh.

Is the 3 worth it? Or, keep possession?

[family man]

@chimoaus yeah agree! Wish he could play like this every game

[gt12]

No good, but used plenty of time.

[gt12]

For a guy who’s pretty good at dropkicks, what the fuck was that Mitch?

[Tim]

Would've thought that Goodhue at 12 and Tamanivalu at 13 would've been a better midfield.

[gt12]

@tim

I reckon Bateman has gone ok.

[Tim]

@gt12 I don't. They need someone who can run straight at 12.

Dixon in, pass is marginal though...

They didn’t even look at the last pass....

That was the most questionable part for me. Still a try though.

To me the most questionable past was the referring, going back more than 2 breakdowns to look at something on video

To add to that - especially when they had Taufua out there. With him off, the midfield hasn’ had much go forward.

@gunner

Not enough impact or size for a lock.

Not enough impact or skill for a 6.

Too many stupid penalties.

[Tim]

That was a pretty scrappy game. Worst I've seen the Crusaders. Understandable given the injuries of course.

Yeah, seems like one of those players that can play wither 6 or lock, but neither to the highest standard. Like a cricket all-rounder that is only competent at batting/bowling without being a standout.
